David Letterman was on a roll last night.

[rwork]

He said the suitcases they blew up in Washington last week had cash for Tom Delay.He also mentioned bush* plays video games for 2 hours a day.That is good, that means there is 2 hours a day that he is not playing as president.Molly Ivins mentioned one time that bush* played video games and excercised every afternoon when he was governor of Texas.

1. Letterman has been tearing Bush a new one constantly lately.

He has no mercy. It seems like ever since Carson passed, Letterman has just been on fire, and with ill consequences for the Bush Administration.

Leno keeps getting worse...it's turning into a Stern-like freakshow (which is fine, if you're Stern).

[rodeodance]

2. are the video's Oliver North's war games?

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

3. the audience agreed with him

laughing and clapping

[Stephanie]

4. Is that true? Does he play video games?

Oh good lord tell me that is not true. My outrage meter is already busted.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

5. Ass hole Leno

still cashing in with Clinton jokes.

[Rob H.]

6. He has Dennis Miller on every time you turn around, too

And yeah, the Clinton jokes wore thin a long time ago. I can't figure out if it's Leno or his writers, but given that the Big Dog has been out of office for 4+ years, it's the political humor equivalent of a fart joke--a cheap, easy laugh for something that isn't actually funny.

[BeFree]

7. It's obvious, isn't it?...

...that Leno can't afford new jokewriters, so he uses 5 year old scripts.

[immoderate]

10. Wrong! Farts are always funny!

8. "You forgot Conan!"

Conan O'Brien can almost always be relied upon for some good Bush-related stuff. Last night, he did his "In the Year 2000" bit with Jimmy Fallon, and had an absolutely side-splitting joke about Bush at the Pope's funeral. Apparently, Bush saw a nun, mistook her for the Pope's wife, and expressed America's deepest condolences on the loss of her husband. He then referred to her as "Mrs. Paul", and complimented her on the incredibly tasty fish sticks she sells in the frozen foods section...LMAO!!
